Patient Reviews
Jun 15, 2022
My husband was diagnosed with Appendiceal carcinoma back in 2003 and Dr. Pingpank performed survey at the NIH and gave us some additional time. He was very honest with me about the prognosis and was warm and caring. He is the reason I was able to have additional time with my husband so I am forever grateful.
